Ziggy Gordon doesn’t care if Hamilton are up against Ross County, Celtic or Dundee United – he sees it as three points to win.

The young defender says every game in the SPFL Premiership is a step up from what he has been used to in the Championship, so relishes the challenge presented by every team Accies face.

While he’s looking forward to locking horns with Aberdeen and Celtic in coming weeks, Ziggy says every game is a chance to bag three points.

Gordon hopes that continues against Dundee United at Tannadice on Saturday and said: “Every game is a step-up from the Championship because the teams are a lot stronger, so I don’t really see the Dundee United game on Saturday being any different than any other we’ve played so far.

“We’ve got Kilmarnock, Motherwell, Aberdeen and Celtic coming up in the next few weeks and these are the games you look forward to.

“I look forward to playing at Celtic Park, Pittodrie and places like that a bit more – but I’m just looking at three points, I don’t look at anything else.

“After the Inverness game people thought we were probably going to finish bottom of the league but nobody here thought that. We’re not looking down, we’re looking up.

“We’ll take it a game at a time, pick up as many points as we can, and at the end of the season we’ll look back and hopefully we’ve done enough.”

Gordon hopes for a good, attacking game on Tayside this weekend, but says that’s not always the case from fixtures like that.

He said: “I’m looking forward to the game. Dundee United are a good team, they’re quite similar to us. They like to pass the ball, and they have young players that they like to bring through. It will be a good contest and I’m looking forward to it.

“I hope there’s some good attacking football from both teams, but that’s what I thought it would be like against Partick Thistle and on the contrary it was a bit more like a battle.

“I think on the day both teams counteracted each other’s tactics and it might be like that on Saturday, but we’ll go in with the same game-plan of getting the ball down and playing, and we’ll see how the game goes.”

Hamilton picked up four wins on the bounce against St Mirren, St Johnstone, Partick Thistle and Ross County, and Gordon hopes that momentum hasn’t been broken by the international break.

He said: “We’ll see on Saturday if it’s changed, but I don’t think so. We had a few days off and went over the Ross County game on Monday and that helped us get focused on the task in hand.”
